Question 35 / 50:  At the beginning of the school year, you administer a preliminary test of

intellectual capacity (assume validity) to a class of students. Then, you randomly

assign the students to two groups: "gifted" and "non-gifted". You tell the teacher,

and not the students themselves, which students are "gifted" and which are not.

What would you expect in terms of performance on a follow-up test at the end of

the school year? Select the best answer.

A  There will be no difference because students were randomly assigned to the two groups.
B  "Non-gifted" students improve more than "gifted" students because they
are motivated to try harder.
C  "Gifted" students will improve less than "non-gifted" students because
they are treated as if they do not need to put in effort.
D  "Gifted" students will improve more than "non-gifted" students most likely
because the teacher's expectation leads him/her to treat the two groups differently.
